Post-Publication Redaction Policy: A Privacy Tool for Sensitive Information

Thursday, October 15, 2026 | 12:00PM–12:40PM ET
Session Type: Poster Session
Delivery Format: Virtual Poster Session
This session will explain the background and uses of a Post-Publication Redaction Policy (PPRP). As a former USAID librarian, I assisted with the removal of sensitive information, in particular the redaction of AID-related materials in conflict-heavy countries. We developed the PPRP to codify our steps to reduce risk and expand privacy for international users of our information repository.
